This year’s City Arts Fest was stacked with great artists and all the festivalgoers I spoke to had nothing but great things to say about the shows they saw. But after he dominated three different Seattle venues in three consecutive nights, I am wondering if The Allen Stone Fest might have been a mor
e appropriate name.
Seattle’s Allen Stone performed Wednesday night at the City Arts Fest opening party and Thursday night at The Triple Door as scheduled. Then on Friday something happened. An announcement began to flood Twitter and Facebook that Fences (also of Seattle) who was slated to headline Neumos, would no longer be playing and in a surprise move Allen Stone would be the replacement headliner. Nobody seemed to mind as fans packed the house to see Allen Stone perform, some for the second or even third night in a row and the place went crazy.
This Wednesday Allen will be making a television appearance when he performs live on Conan and after seeing the way the crowds responded to him last week at City Arts Fest it is clear that he is about to set the country on fire with Funk. If you aren’t able to catch his late night TV performance don’t worry, I will post the video as soon as it is available.
The video below is from his Friday night show at Neumos. Big thanks to @davidklayton for the great photo.
